One of my YouTube viewers asked for a video on how to make "Santa Muerte Oil" - so this is for her!

While you might say that all of the oils on my site are "Santa Muerte oils", I have seen pure "Santa Muerte Oil" and "Santa Muerte Powder" for sale online and in stores - so I decided to put this page together to explain how a Santa Muerte devotee might make and use their own Santa Muerte oil and Santa Muerte powder.

Santa Muerte Powder

You Will Need -

Herbal Ingredients:

Rose - for Santa Muerte devotees in Mexico, the personification of death is viewed as a woman, and one of her favorite offerings to receive is flowers, especially roses. They represent the softer, loving, and merciful side of the Santa Muerte.

​Tobacco - although soft enough to appreciate the gift of roses, Santa Muerte is also known for her many vices, which is why devotees often offer Santa Muerte cigars, booze, and candy. Here, the tobacco represents Santa Muerte's vices, her approachable down-to-Earth spirit, her "live for the moment" attitude, and her ability to connect with us in the physical realm.

​Copal - known as a powerful spiritual protector and purifier, copal has a long history in Mexico for its connection to the dead and it's considered one of the Santa Muerte's favorite incense aromas. Used here to represent the spiritual, magickal, and mystical nature of Santa Muerte.

At your Santa Muerte altar in the glow of the white candle's flame, grind together approximately equal parts of herbal ingredients into a fine powder. As you do, recite and meditate on the Santa Muerte magick prayer found below. Praying over the herbs while you grind them into a fine powder will help you focus the energy of the potion toward your desired intent of working successfully with the Santa Muerte. Be careful of breathing in the dust of the herbs as you grind, as it may cause irritation. The powder is complete when reduced to a fine consistency. Store in a suitable jar and label.

​Allow the white candle to burn on your altar until complete.
​To use powder, recite the Santa Muerte magick prayer included below while you sprinkle in areas where you want to invoke the spirit and energy of Santa Muerte, our Most Holy Saint Death. Sprinkle in living areas to destroy negativity, in areas of business to destroy barriers to financial success, under the bed to eliminate obstacles keeping you from finding a lover, etc.

​When you want to invite the spirit and energy of the Santa Muerte into a space, but can't build an altar, sprinkle this powder as you focus on inviting the Santa Muerte into the area.

Santa Muerte Oil

You Will Need -​
Ingredients:

​Santa Muerte Magick Powder - from the instructions above.
​Mamey Bone Oil- a magickal oil base common in love and beauty formulas, mamey bone oil is used here to represent the Santa Muerte (or "Boney Lady", as she is often called), and her love for us all.

Other Items:
​
​Mini-Mason Jar - for storing your Santa Muerte Magick oil. Mini mason jars are recommended because they offer a wide mouth for easy pouring. Also, small batches are recommended because magick oil has a shelf life, so you shouldn't make more than you intend on using over the next few months.White Cloth - for wrapping your magick oil container, both to limit light into the oil and to further symbolize the magickal intent behind the formula.
​1 White Candle- to invoke the energy of the White Cloaked Santa Muerte, Holy Saint Death.
​Oil Instructions -

At your Santa Muerte altar in the glow of the white candle's flame, combine in your mini-mason jar or other magick oil container your Santa Muerte Magick Powder and mamey bone carrier oil. You want the amount of mamey bone carrier oil you add to be just enough to cover the amount of magick powder you add. In other words, when the jar is resting it should appear like the powder is floating in all parts of the oil instead of just collecting at the bottom of the jar. This allows for the most efficient and potent infusion into the oil.

​Stir or mix until all dry powder is incorporated. As you do that, continue to recite the Santa Muerte Muerte magick prayer (found below) over your potion while meditating on the intent of working successfully with the Santa Muerte.

​Label your jar and, for added power, wrap in a white cloth or white cloth bag, which you can also tag with a label.

​Allow the white candle to burn on your altar until complete.

Store your new batch of magick oil for at least 10 days in a cool, dark place before use to allow the carrier oil enough time to absorb the energies and scents of the dry ingredients. Each day, gently mix the ingredients as you pray the Santa Muerte magick prayer and focus on the magickal intent behind the potion.

​Your oil is ready for magickal work after the 10th day. Continue to store in a cool, dark place and in a white cloth or bag when not in use.
​
To use oil, recite the Santa Muerte magick prayer while you anoint areas where you want to invoke the spirit and energy of the Santa Muerte, and while you anoint items you want to bless in Santa Muerte's name. Anoint areas of your home or business for general protection and blessings. Anoint items that you want the Santa Muerte to cleanse, make magickal, or protect.

​As like with the powder formula above, this oil works great when you want to invite the spirit and energy of the Santa Muerte into a space, but can't build an altar​.

Santa Muerte Magick Prayer

"Santa Muerte, may you bless me as I make/use this powder/oil in your name.
​May all that it touches be blessed the same."
